Prasanya,
Did you try searching "ERROR:" at pos-3 given that you have an FBA input ?
omg, this thread has gone too far w/o making any progress.  |

I'm sure my answer would look absurd compared to the master choices that you all have mentioned but I just wanted to try my luck out....
Please ignore/delete this post if it doesn't meet the standards....
Firstly, I copied the 4 lines of data from the input file provided by the Prasanya to a FBA 80 byte file (for testing)
Here are the contents of the i/p file:
| Code: |
***************************** Top of Data ******************************
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6----+----7--
1 THE SAS
SYSTEM 01:00 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2010
NOTE: COPYRIGHT (C) 2002-2003 BY SAS INSTITUTE INC., CARY, NC, USA.
NOTE: SAS (R) 9.1 (TS1M3) |
And then I had a O/P file with length 79 and DCB=FB.
I tried the SORT option and here goes my sort card
| Code: |
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTFIL OUTREC=(1:1,79) |
Then i executed the job, and the output file looked the same as the input file...I did a SUPERC and found that the records were matching..
Once again my sincere apoligies if my answer is looking hasty or imappropriate.
Thanks,
Ravi |

Ravi!
Your test is ok!
it might be biased that You did run it from data cut and pasted from the topic
and of a good/certain/sure origin
what we are still puzzling about is the goodness of the data in the TS environment
or at least of the understanding by the TS of its organization
the thing we are debating also is the ****ing  <output> dataset with all the data junked up! |

how could You
I had told the TS to check, especially after having seen the <output> dataset
but the TS said he was sure and confirmed |

I have already mentioned its a FBA file and am sure about this. I do have a proper understanding if the system that am working in. Please keep in mind that its a log file created by SAS.
Do you need some kind of proof to be sure that its an FBA file?
Hi Arun,
I have already tried using position 3 but i dint get a match for 'ERROR:' |

Yes, i would like to see some proof if it is a FBA file.
The SAS log is normally a VBA dataset. |

the answers You got were because we kept that in mind
from the SAS manual
| Quote: |
SAS Log File
The SAS log file is a temporary physical file that has a DDname of SASLOG in both the SAS cataloged procedure and the SAS CLIST. In batch mode, the SAS cataloged procedure assigns default data control block (DCB) characteristics to this file as follows:
BLKSIZE=141
LRECL=137
RECFM=VBA |
repeat on
and that explain why..
the first sample (input) looks right,
the second sample (output) looks wrong
it' s what happens when You process a VB dataset with a FB dcb |

| I tried copying the input file to a VB file as well and my output still looks similar to the previous output. |

Looks FBA to me.
Now i would like to see the JCL allocation of this dataset. |
